Celebrity Sighting # Ummm.....What?

As part of my summer adventures (yes, I am doing my license plate game, but will spare you the play by play this year) I saw Doug Benson perform at his 4:20 show. He was late which was not a huge shock, but I felt strange bringing in my name tag a la his Doug Loves Movies Podcast. Alas, I was not alone and I bonded with a couple at the next table with their very creative artwork. Did not get picked to play the Leonard Matlin game, but enjoyed avoiding having a panic attack if I were called on stage. It wasn't exactly my crowd of people as I am the biggest square in the world and didn't even know what 4:20 meant until a few years ago. (Still not sure of its origins.) Even stoned as hell, he was damn funny and I really enjoyed myself. 

On a side note, if you ever get the chance to see Ngaio Bealum, do it. He was freaking funny and surprised me with the nerd humor that went over my head(Side note: Took me twenty minutes online to find his name on the internet). And while I'm plugging, check out Doug Loves Movies. I have nothing to gain from this but spreading laughs to the world. They are other people working for the laughs, but I helped.

Don't Hate, Love (Or Just Let It Go)

After days of serious anger issues, I'm slowly calming myself and trying to enjoy what life has to offer. That being said, during my angry time, I managed to catch the trailer for Adam Sandler's new movie Jack and Jill. My instinct is to blame Katie Holmes for this, but there is no way she is responsible, she just wants to work. Then again, she shouldn't just get a pass because there is Adam Sandler and Al Pacino to direct so much blame.

After reading a few very angry and borderline sadistic comments, I realized why spew so much hate at this? I'm just going to not see this movie and move on with my life. The anger might come back when this makes fifty million dollars in it's first week, but once again, I'll harness my meditation practices.

However, this movie does look horrible and in order to reach my middle ground, I am sharing this video. Thank you to it's creator. Don't stop flexing your idea muscles.
